OVERVIEW
This new two day workshop is aimed at getting Data Scientists, Data Warehousing and BI profes-sionals up to scratch on Big Data, Hadoop, other NoSQL DBMSs and Multi-Platform Analytics. What is Big Data? How can you make use of it? How does it fit within a traditional analytical envi-ronment? What skills do you need to develop for Big Data Analytics? All of these questions are addressed in this new knowledge packed workshop.
AUDIENCE
IT directors, CIO’s, IT Managers, BI Managers, data warehousing professionals, data scientists, enterprise architects, data architects

MODULE 4: BIG DATA INTEGRATION AND GOVERNANCE IN A MULTI-PLATFORM ANA-LYTICAL ENVIRONMENT
This session will look at the challenge of integrating and governing Big Data and the unique is-sues it raises. How do you deal with very large data volumes and different varieties of data? How does loading data into Hadoop differ from loading data into analytical relational databases? What about NoSQL databases? How should low-latency data be handled? Topics that will be covered include:
Types of Big Data
